A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Manufactured Housing Survey.
    OMB Approval Number: 2528-0029.
    Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Form Number: C-MH-9A.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Manufactured Housing Survey collects data on new manufactured homes 
that are sold or leased for residential use. The survey tracks 
shipments of manufactured homes to dealers and the sales price and 
characteristics of sampled units. Beginning in fiscal year 2015, 
dealers are contacted once to obtain sales price and characteristics of 
the unit. If the unit has been placed by the time Census contacts the 
dealer, additional placement data are collected. Other selected housing 
characteristics collected include size, location, and titling. HUD uses 
the statistics to respond to a Congressional mandate in the Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. 5424 note, which requires 
HUD to collect and report manufactured home sales and price information 
for the nation, census regions, states, and selected metropolitan areas 
and to monitor whether new manufactured homes are being placed on owned 
rather than rented lots. HUD also uses these data to monitor total 
housing production and its affordability. Furthermore, the Manufactured 
Housing Survey serves as the basis for HUD's mandated indexing of loan 
limits. Section 2145 (b) of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act 
(HERA) of 2008 requires HUD to develop a method of indexing to annually 
adjust Title I manufactured home loan limits. This index is based on 
manufactured housing price data collected by this survey. Section 2145 
of the HERA of 2008 also amends the maximum loan limits for 
manufactured home loans insured under Title I. HUD implemented the 
revised loan limits, as shown below, for all manufactured home loans 
for which
